I'm half Filipino, born in Butuan, but I hate to disappoint you because today I live here in the U.S.A.

I don't think tennis is a very big sport in the Philippines. From what I hear it's viewed as an elitist rich person's sport, and I think Badminton is probably more popular over there than tennis is...You can correct me if I'm wrong though, it's just what I hear...But I hope you find other fellow Filipino TT members

Manila is probably the most popular place for tennis in the Philippines. As a Mindanao person I can tell you that tennis is very very rare down there. Davao has some courts, but they are mostly reserved for the rich country club types. I can't speak for Cebu, but there's probably a few decent courts over there.

I'll be going in November. My wife is from Malolos and there was a shell/clay court at her high school where here and her brother and dad all grew up playing.

I want to bring a racquet or two. Not sure if I will bring a bag. Might pick up a couple of racquets off of the sale rack and then just leave them when we go because I'm sure the balikbayan boxes will be full of polvoron, balisong, bangus, barong tagalog material, pastillias and all things pasalubong.

My side of the family is from Makati/Mandaluyong and Binan. One of the relatives is well to do and has access to a country club. They don't play but maybe we will play there.

Mabuhay!

I might just look into that...granted I don't think we will have much time for tennis.

I rarely play serious tennis there and usually with the local college guys. My regular recreational/social tennis group have built their own private court behind the government offices they work in (only in the PI ). The biggest challenge is the Tanduay and snacks they force on me during these night time sessions. The tennis isn't great, but is it a really good time.
